How to Fold Down the Rear Seats of a Ford EcoSport?

Move the front seats forward, retract the rear seat armrest and the cup holder on the armrest, and stow the safety belt buckle of the middle rear seat. The seats will then automatically fold. There is a row of rear seat control buttons on the inner side of the trunk. Press these buttons to fold the rear seats. The rear seat folding switch is located on the side of the rear seats. Locate and pull it to complete the folding of the rear seats.
Operating the rear seat folding in the Ford EcoSport is quite simple. Let me share the steps. First, sit on the rear seat, and you'll find a small pull strap or button at the top of the seatback. Gently pull it upward to release the locking mechanism. Then, hold the seatback and push it forward steadily until it lies completely flat. The whole process requires no tools and takes little time. I recommend clearing any items from the seat before operating to avoid tripping or scratching the interior. Once done, the trunk space increases significantly, which is especially convenient for transporting large luggage or camping gear, as I often do. If it gets stuck, don’t force it—it might be due to a misaligned pull strap or lock; just adjust it gently. This design greatly enhances the practicality of the Ford EcoSport, making it ideal for daily moves or trips. Every time I operate it, it goes smoothly.
